Installation Tips & Tricks (Australia)

1. Measure Twice, Fit Once
Ensure frame openings match product dimensions with 5mm–10mm clearance for adjustment.

2. Flashing & Waterproofing
Use flashing tape/membranes to prevent water ingress.

3. Fixings & Fasteners
Use corrosion-resistant fixings. Fix through jambs, not frames.

Use expanding foam or backer rod and sealant to close perimeter gaps.
